Accessibility Statement for AutoFix Garage

AutoFix Garage is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for everyone. We are continually improving the user experience for all visitors and strive to apply the relevant accessibility standards. We firmly believe that our website should be accessible to people of all abilities, allowing everyone to learn about our services, contact us, and engage with our content.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

We are dedicated to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. AutoFix Garage is actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website and, in doing so, adhere to many available standards and guidelines.

AutoFix Garage strives to conform to level AA of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines will help make the web more user-friendly for everyone.

Measures to Support Accessibility

AutoFix Garage takes the following measures to ensure the accessibility of our website:

• Regular Accessibility Audits: We conduct regular audits of our website using both automated tools and manual testing to identify and address accessibility issues. These audits are performed by accessibility specialists who are knowledgeable about WCAG guidelines and best practices.
• Assistive Technology Compatibility: Our website is designed to be compatible with assistive technologies, such as screen readers, screen magnifiers, and voice recognition software. We regularly test our website with these technologies to ensure that it functions correctly for users who rely on them.
• Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML elements to structure our content, making it easier for assistive technologies to understand and navigate. This includes using appropriate headings, lists, and landmarks to organize the content in a meaningful way.
• Alternative Text for Images: All images on our website have descriptive alternative text (alt text) that accurately conveys the content and purpose of the image. This allows users who cannot see the images to understand their meaning.
• Keyboard Navigation: Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard. Users can access all interactive elements, such as links, buttons, and form fields, using the keyboard alone.
• Color Contrast: We ensure that there is sufficient contrast between text and background colors to make the content readable for users with low vision or color blindness.
• Resizable Text: Users can easily resize the text on our website using their browser settings. This allows users with low vision to increase the text size to a comfortable reading level.
• Clear and Simple Language: We strive to use clear and simple language throughout our website to make the content easy to understand for all users. We avoid jargon and technical terms whenever possible.
• Form Accessibility: Our forms are designed to be accessible to users with disabilities. We provide clear labels for all form fields, and we use ARIA attributes to provide additional information and guidance to assistive technologies.
• Video Captions and Transcripts: All videos on our website have captions and transcripts available. This allows users who are deaf or hard of hearing to understand the content of the videos.
